CarlTN, yes I'm puzzled by the steely appearance and colors I often get with water, I guess generally in sunshine. It's not that I don't like it but I don't recall the scene looking exactly like that. However, I'm guessing this is where the lens and the camera's characteristics (shutter speed etc.) come in and it's simply what you get??

Thanks all for the nice comments! For the exif info, clicking on the pictures will bring you to Flickr where you can scroll down and click on "show more" next to "Additional Info" near the bottom of the page to make it appear (admittedly, it's pretty well hidden).

Well, that other shot kind of almost looked like you were using the polarizer filter, but it's hard to tell.

This shot...um it looks like some kind of "closeup abstraction" of an alligator with its nose protruding from the water...??
